About CRES
Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization founded in 2013 to engage Republican policymakers and the public about responsible, conservative solutions to address our nation’s energy, economic, and environmental security while increasing America’s competitive edge.
About Our Organization
Energy affects every facet of American life, so every one of us has a stake in supporting clean, responsible energy solutions that advance our nation’s energy, economic, and environmental security while increasing America’s competitive edge.
Responsible energy solutions mean cleaner, more affordable energy that reduces emissions, increases job creation, supports domestic manufacturing, and preserves the environment.
CRES works with policymakers to champion legislation that supports energy affordability and reliability by harnessing the power of the free market. Now, more than ever, Republicans must lead on energy issues that impact our businesses and homes.
CRES Believes
- A clean environment and a growing economy are not mutually exclusive.
- America’s national security is predicated on access to sustainable and domestically sourced forms of abundant energy.
- American investments in energy innovation today will yield worldwide benefits for generations to come.
- The free market is the most powerful and efficient force capable of driving productivity and reducing energy costs for consumers and businesses.
- The U.S. has an economic and moral imperative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the benefit of future generations.
